I agree. This is a big difference in my area. 2008's can still be had much more cheaply. The only color I usually worry about is how much green I can keep in my wallet for the same item. If the prices were the same, colors would be a factor in the year I purchased, but I basically buy a bike to ride, not to wax and stare at. Function over form. I guess I just don't have the Harley mentality. Busa's got their reputation because of how they performed, in spite of their oddball, at the time they first came out, looks.
